EB Expo 2012: Nintendo Australia to Showcase Wii U at Event

Nintendo may have one of the most popular booths at EB Expo this year with the recent confirmation that the Wii U will be playable to the public for the first time in Australia during the event.

“We are incredibly excited to be able to showcase Nintendo’s innovative new Wii U game console to Australian consumers at this year’s EB Games Expo,” said Steve Wilson, Managing Director of EB Games Australia and New Zealand. “EB Games Expo will be the first time gamers in Australia get to go hands on with Wii U.”

The successor to the Wii is a HD console, packing more power and more variety than ever before. Working retroactively with existing Wii remotes, everyone will want to get their busy hands on the all new Wii U GamePad controller. Play with up to five players from the one console.
